Most overused cliche in an argument.  

Fact is many times guys just have some bad luck and may have a string of injuries then play years without missing a game.  Especially if you’re talking about non soft tissue related injuries. Thomas Davis came back from three ACL injuries and then missed only 3 games for the next 6 seasons.

Works both ways, some who never got hurt suddenly can’t get on the field. Jonathan Taylor never missed a game in HS, college, or NFL until this season and suddenly mister reliable can’t get on the field and has to be placed on IR. 

Bottom line, stop saying that Jaycee Horn is injury prone. Yesterday’s injury was unfortunate but any player in the same position would have suffered the same injury. There’s nothing inherent about his style of play that would even remotely suggest that he won’t still have a long and productive NFL career.

It is hard to say--some players have a style of play that makes them injury prone.  Many top athletes in the NFL were top athletes in pop warner, high school, college, etc.  They did not need to focus as much on mechanics because their athleticism was more than enough to compensate.  When matched with equals, however, the need for mechanics is obvious.  Am I saying that CMC was not mechanically sound?  Horn?  No, but I am saying that many injuries occur when a player is in a compromised position that contradicts what most coaches preach as far as mechanics.

You don't have to like it. None of us do. But it's going to remain a source of debate about our 8th overall pick. Now Jaycee could very well go on to have an injury free career for the next several seasons. But do you actually believe that is going to happen? I hope it does but I also know Santa isn't real.

I generally only worry about "injury prone" if they're soft tissue, non contact, or neurological. 

he broke a bone in his foot on probably the worst field in the NFL that is actually large palettes of grass that are just kinda stuck together. It's a crime that this field is allowed to exist but the McNair family just HAS to be able to host the annual Texas cattle suck and fug or whatever it is.

This wrist looks like it was from a team mate slamming in to him from a weird angle while he was making a tackle. Bones break, it's what they do. Wrist is a weird area where there's a long of vasculature and nerves and you risk SERIOUS life long injury if you don't listen to the doctors. 

It sucks but he went the entire year on his foot without issue and it's not like he's Julio Jones with a hamstring that locks up every 2nd quarter.

I’m the definition of injury prone. I’ve torn ligaments in my shoulder and elbow from falling. I’m torn my meniscus recently by just stepping wrong. Ive torn my labrum again after getting it fixed. Yes Horns injury sucks, but both injuries, especially this one , is a freak thing. I don’t care who you are, if you get your hand and arm smashed between a another person, and a hard as fug helmet, you’re most likely gonna have problems.

Just because you don’t want us to say it, doesn’t it make it false. Some guys just get injured more due to lack of awareness, luck, technique, diet, etc. Horn is looking like one of those guys. Example: (I know this wasn’t the injury play) Maybe he should just push a guy out of bounds instead of going for the suplex

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
